With the exception of how many chapters were devoted to Jacob's journey and trials --- I think they did as good a job as they could have with getting it on point with the book. I can't believe Summit is making us wait an entire year for Part 2 --- when it's already been in post production. How about making it a summer release Summit?
It's a reminder that the end is near - and it's sad in many ways. But I AM glad that the actual reason that they needed to break this book into 2 parts IS so that they are able to stay as true as possible to the book - of course it's still an abridged version, but there's not SO many missing pieces as there are in other HP movies.
